Verdict
Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner Gateau De Miel made a bright start over fences when narrowly beaten but was held when falling at the last in a handicap here last month. Hardwired has been well beaten in three starts over fences but showed his stamina when runner-up over timber at Sligo. NATIVE GOLD is bred for chasing so did well to score over hurdles at Limerick where he loved the testing conditions. He looks a fine recruit to the bigger obstacles and can make a winning debut. Salmanino landed a Punchestown handicap over timber and is another who will be expected to do better over fences while Cast Iron is in the same category.
